SwiftyNotes 1.0.1: Demo, Spotlight, and Sharing Polish
This patch release folds in the work from the first post-1.0 cycle: a better way to see the app, a cleaner path into the iOS beta, and deeper Apple-platform integration.
SwiftyNotes 1.0.1 is a small version number with a useful set of quality upgrades. The new demo page shows the real product flow with the latest recording, so you can see inline markdown, navigation, and the writing surface before downloading.
We also added a dedicated iOS beta signup page for people who want early access on iPhone and iPad. It keeps TestFlight interest separate from the main download page and gives us a cleaner way to invite testers as builds move through review.
More Native
This release deepens the macOS side of SwiftyNotes. Notes can now be indexed by Spotlight, the Services menu can create or append notes from selected text, and Quick Look can preview SwiftyNotes files without opening the app. These are the kinds of small system hooks that make a native tool feel present everywhere without adding more chrome.
Better Handoff
Sharing got richer too. SwiftyNotes can prepare Markdown, plain text, HTML email, links, and file-based handoff formats, so moving a note into another app is less lossy. The editor also accepts pasted images and stores them through the same attachment path as drag-and-drop.
Quieter Polish
The app picked up colored tag dots, a time-aware onboarding greeting, subtler sheet shadows, and iPad list swipe actions. We also fixed CI noise around gitleaks quota, release preflights, Open Graph image generation, and the public checksum link on the download page.
